Sleigh Bells Ring

Well, I guess it's fitting that radio stations everywhere are playing Christmas music. We got our first measurable snow last night.

It began as a cold stinging rain, and by 10 pm, I looked out the window to see that our cars were covered by snow.

It also brought about a discussion on what snow does when it accumulates. I, being from the Pennsylvania Coal Region, say snow "sticks".

My wife, from Pittsburgh, says it "lays". Some of our conversations go like this.

"Hmm, it looks like the snow is starting to stick."

"What? Snow doesn't stick, it lays"

"You're crazy, go put some french fries in your sandwich or something"

Backnote: For some reason Pittsburghers love to put french fries in their sandwiches, salad's and everything else. It's crazy. They also talk funny. It drives us Philly people nuts. Give me a Hoagie with Dietz and Watson meats and Amaroso's rolls and we're in heaven.

Well, its great we got snow. I love a white thanksgiving. It reminds me why I love Pennsylvania and would never like a warm place like Florida or something.

That would make too much sense.
